Ontario homeless minister

News summary

Ontario's Big City Mayors (OBCM) have launched the 'Solve the Crisis' campaign, urging provincial and federal governments to address the escalating homelessness, drug addiction, and mental health crises in urban areas. With over 1,400 encampments reported, mayors are advocating for stable funding and the appointment of a single minister to streamline efforts across various ministries. Burlington Mayor Marianne Meed Ward emphasized the inadequacy of current piecemeal funding, stating that municipalities are struggling to handle these issues without proper resources. The mayors propose a five-pronged plan that includes the establishment of a task force involving diverse stakeholders to develop a comprehensive action plan. Community partners support the initiative, highlighting the need for consistent investment in supportive housing and harm reduction programs. The campaign reflects growing concern over the humanitarian crisis affecting vulnerable populations in Ontario's cities.
